I woke up sweat soaked in the morning
I was mourning freedom buried deep.
Mourning freedom buried deep.
In tickers and broadcasts through power lines.
Freedom buried in sound bites, buried in headlines

It's beaten in and beaten in.
We're coming back around again

This scare is blood soaked red - soaked red
Marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city

Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now.
Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now, yeah!
